What were her qualifications before she became president of lucasfilm?

She was a well-known Hollywood producer, a protege of Steven Spielberg's, who had been nominated for eight Academy Awards for Best Picture. Though to be perfectly honest, her role in those nominated films was mostly incidental.

Of the eight films she received nominations for, five were directed by Steven Spielberg (E.T., The Color Purple, Munich, War Horse, and Lincoln) and one was directed by David Fincher (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button). The other two movies were The Sixth Sense (a film mostly fueled by its smart screenplay) and Seabiscuit.
